Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.

Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

You know what pisses me off? That we don't have a standard in blogs for whether "Next" means "more recent posts" or "next page in older posts; i.e., more posts older than these ones"

Nor whether the older post button should be on the right or the left. It is annoying.

Indeed. The problem is because, in a sense, blogs and other web mediums are kind of the opposite of a book; since you start out with the newest page and progress backwards, the book analogy is stuck. You want to progress to the next page on the right, but in a book that would bring you to newer material, whereas in a blog it's to older material.

So these writers had a great idea for a TV show about being lost on an island and they wrote a solid script for 2 seasons. Then the magical network gods demanded more seasons. The writers we all like "oh shit, uh how about time travel and alternate dimensions?"

When the show came to an end they needed some random way to tie in the bullshit plot twists they'd taken for 2 years so naturally they used the old stand-by "a wizard did it". In this case wizard = jesus
